What's up, users! We've mostly fixed the technical problems we were having earlier (unless Danny missed something again) but you might want to wear green. Also, I'm supposed to make a vague and mysterious informational post here but that sounded boring so I made a video presentation instead! Watch on YouTube Cheers! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As of this post all apples, oranges, lemons, and limes have been replaced in-universe as the silly dancing fruits shown above. This means that as with Chocobos all NPCs will insist this is how things have always been and history/movies/etc will back them up. In honor of St. Patrick's Day characters will find a request from Retrospec to upload a picture of themselves to the network in which they are wearing something green. They will find themselves shocked lightly by their device if they try to use it without complying. Rude? A non-triggered memory regain can be earned through participation in this post in honor of Lucy's birthday the holiday with proof of a single thread with at least five comments from your character. If you plan to redeem this, please submit it to our regains page with the explanation of "March freebie". This must be submitted before April to be valid! Regardless of whether or not a character earns the freebie, all characters will find a gold coin with the Retrospec logo on one side and a Chocobo on the other. On the outside edge of the coin they will find "Jim, put a meaningful quote here. - Janet" engraved in a beautiful font. The Chocobo will morph into a horse should your character obtain the memory regain from the event; it will stay a Chocobo if your character does not obtain the memory regain. Please see our OOC information post HERE for some information and reminders - you can direct any questions about this post there! Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

WHOS CRAZY NOW ASSHOLES???????????

also this was pretty funny but proposing in public is creepy and messed up!

[appraiser]

jade.................

[rhapsodeity]

yes hello!

[appraiser]

how many seeds did you plant?

[godcards]

I assure you, the proposal is the least messed up part about this, JADE.

[rhapsodeity]

the proposal is still fucked up, MALIK
proposing to someone in PUBLIC puts a lot of STRESS on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can type in capitals too see >:\
poor janet!
janet if you can see this it is ok to say no in these instances if that is not where your heart is!!!!!!

[godcards]

JADE
THE FRUIT WITH FACES IS WORSE THAT THIS PROPOSAL. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE OTHER TWO STUPID PEOPLE. THEY ARE SOMEHOW INVOLVED IN THIS, AS ARE YOU, AND YOU'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR IRRELEVANT LOVE LIFE?

[true_noir]

We all are, Jade, and they are even more. I am staring at it. It is bouncing in my fruit bowl. I think that I wish to cry. Are they all like this now?

[rhapsodeity]

i think that is what this post is about yes
the part where all the fruit are like this that is
but i am glad we are on the same page here chloe!

[true_noir]

I am told that bananas are safe. Bananas have potassium. I will be eating much more of them in the future. We need to get a banana into you as well.

When it was a curiosity, it was one thing, but this... are they even safe to eat?

[swordere]

It is rather inconsiderate.

At least she can give her answer privately, without all the attention on her. Or so I hope.

[rhapsodeity]

yes exactly!

i hope so too
the trend of public proposals is kind of strange :/

[swordere]

It's a lot of unnecessary pressure to put on someone. While I understand wanting to make a proposal memorable, drawing so much attention is... probably not the way to do it.

[trueend]

jade what do we DO 😭
i dont want to eat dancing fruit

[rhapsodeity]

oh frisk :(
there are bananas and strawberries and grapes still!
i thought you liked those?

[trueend]

yes but
i liked apples and oranges more :(

[truedetective]

I suppose it's too much to hope this is some sort of practical joke on your part?

[rhapsodeity]

how would i even pull that off??

[truedetective]

Admittedly, I have no possible idea.

They did appear to you first, however.

[legne]

Your fruits...

...Gave birth! Congratulations on your growing clan!

[rhapsodeity]

how do fruit even give birth ranko?
i missed that horticulture lesson!!!
but thanks anyway???? i think

[legne]

Well, not literally, of course! Rather, somebody must have planted smiling seeds at an alarming rate. Smiling, even as they were covered with earth...a grim sight, to be sure.

[covenantal]

They're spreading...

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Maybe you were a test case, and they decided to expand to all of us?

Agreed on the proposal, though. That's no way to get someone to agree. Won't you just embarrass them?

[rhapsodeity]

no they are mine!
somehow
i know that they belong to me :o
but i dont know how they are everywhere now when they definitely were not last night

i think asking someone to marry you in public is pretty tacky
not to mention that they would feel pressured to say yes to make people watching happy and not embarrass the person proposing

[temperedwill]

Maybe we'll get to be vindictive and she'll publicly post her rejecting him for everyone to see.
Are you more worried about the public proposal than the fruit though?
